the republic of macedonia a balkan state in southern europe that could be about to go through a small name change it's a vote that's grabbed the attention of europe's powerhouse and even u.s. officials and it's all down to one word north the change would bring an end to a twenty seven year long to speak with greece it's concerned about historical and territorial claims as it has a province called macedonia previously the territory of the macedonian state until the beginning of the twentieth century simple on paper but is it really. referendum ballots pose just one albeit double barreled question whether the macedonian people want to join nato and the u. and in turn support an agreement with greece to change the country's name to north macedonia. so it comes down to some in the country's desire to join the alliances after previous attempts have been blocked by greece this time its neighbor seems to have found a bargaining chip for macedonia as a session to nato but there are still hurdles to overcome the first sticking point is that the referendums outcome lacks and he legal clout and

the balkanization of identity that passes for feminism and the 21st century saddens me.uch balkanization makes it almost impossible to unite in coalition to fight the issues that may not personally affect all the protesters. many feminist academics and journalists now believe that speaking out against headscarves, hijab, face veil, niqab can force mail, female genital mutilation, and polygamy a semi-racist. postmodern ways of thinking have also led feminists to believe the confronting narratives of academic page or signing petitions are as important and world shattering as rescuing living beings from captivity. i did not foresee the extent to which feminists who,, philosophically, are universalists would paradoxically become isolationists here such timidity, presumably in the service of opposing racism, is perhaps the greatest failing at the feminist establishment. i recant none of the visionary ideals of second wave feminism. rather, as a feminist, not as an antifeminist, i feel obliged to say that something has gone terribly wrong among our thinking classes. the multic
